imdb link here.

Probably one of the better movies made in the last 5 years. 2 CD's, good quality. Very important movie.

Yeah, it is one of the best movies ever. I still remember seeing it for the first time in the theater. It was outstanding.

Very good movie, but has THE single most disturbing scene I have ever witnessed on film.

The curb scene. The shower scene you can pretty much know is coming ahead of time.

The sounds really complemented both scenes quite well. Maybe too well.

Sweet, thanks Kyou - been wanting to see this and always forgot to pick it up at Blockbuster. =D

edit: not working, does that mean nobody is trying to download it?

The curb....

I knew a chick that covers her ears while watching that part. The sound is more disturbing than any visual sequence in just about any movie in recent history.

Ed Norton is an awesome actor. He has been in some of my favorites: Primal Fear, American History X, Fight Club.

I won't see that movie with him and Ben Stiller as the priest and the rabbi or whatever as I don't want my image of him to be tarnished.

I thought death to smoochy was hilarious. "I'm goin on a safari motherfucker, safaaaarii " robin williams does a great job of playing a nut case.
